Having said that, and as a publisher from way back, I certainly don't mind "web publisher" either, especially for those conversations with offline people for whom blogging is a relative unknown. I don't get the respect when I call myself a blogger, that's true. - Alister As regards titles and labels I’ve gone for the “mesmerize them with meaninglessness” approach, calling myself a blogologist :)

Believe me, you know that feeling is mutual. I learn from you and your blog evey time I'm within shouting distance of either one of you. Publisher works for me, for the very reason that I've known so many of them. . . . let's leave it at that. :) Not every weblog writer is a publisher, granted, but heck of lot of them sure are. And, Lorelle, you set the standard in so many ways. Liz Hey,

The real hero for me, though, is you. I learn something new from you every day. And yep, I think the word publisher works just fine. A publisher produces written material for wide dissemination. Isn't that what we are doing when we write for our web sites? See you at SOBCon07! Kent Liz,

You are right. We need to find more blogging heroes to help define the pride we have in blogging. Web publisher. Oh, please. How grandiose. Web writer is probably more appropriate, but there is that act of publishing...hmmm. Nope, I can't go there, yet. I've worked in the publishing and advertising industry most of my life and I hold a Publisher on a pretty high pedestal. Still, maybe it does a better job at describing what we do. As for heroes, Liz, you are one of mine. <a href="http://www.problogger.com/" rel="nofollow">Darren Rowse</a> is another of my heroes. And as I think about them, I can tell I have to really examine my definition of a hero as well. I need to do more <a href="http://www.blogherald.com/2007/02/20/are-you-a-thinking-blogger/" title="Are You a Thinking Blogger?" rel="nofollow">thinking</a> about what makes a hero a hero to me. Shucks, you've done it to me again, Liz. Made me think too much. That will have to be part of my description of what a blogging hero is to me.
